Showing appreciation for volunteers is a powerful Girl Scout tradition. After all, our volunteers are ah-mazing. 

Volunteers are key to our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place!

That's why in April (National Volunteer Month!) we celebrate the powerful and inspiring contributions volunteers make all year long. It’s a fact: without our volunteers, we couldn’t and wouldn’t be the largest girls’ leadership development organization in the world. But we are. So THANK YOU! 

That’s right: because of you we’re able to build girls of courage, confidence, and character and prepare them for the lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure that every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ deserves.  Although everything girls do in Girl Scouts is girl-led, mentors like you make all the difference in the quality of a girl’s experience and the amazing things she learns she is capable of accomplishing. Because when your G.I.R.L. spirit shines, hers does too. 

And on April 22, the party is especially big as we celebrate Girl Scout Leader’s Day. What can we say? We really love Girl Scout volunteers!

All month long, show your favorite Girl Scout volunteer how much they mean to you with a straight-from-the-heart, personalized ecard. Choose from four predesigned templates. Just fill in the blank to finish the sentence, and share your ecard with them on Facebook, on Twitter, or by email!

During National Volunteer Week (April 7–13) you can also head on over to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to show love for your favorite Girl Scout volunteer by sharing what makes them so special to you. Be sure to mention all the ways you support them throughout the year too. And remember to tag @nmgirlscouts and use #NVW2019 so we can follow the love! 

Throughout April, Girl Scout lifetime membership will be available at a special 50% discount—from $400 down to $200—for volunteers who have served for ten years or more.

When you upgrade to lifetime membership through MYGS in April, you can expect:

• Continuous membership in Girl Scouts
• $25 of your dues to fund one year of Girl Scout membership for an underserved girl in your council
• A lifetime membership card and pin
• 10% off Girl Scout merchandise purchased from girlscoutshop.com
• An invitation to join an annual call hosted by GSUSA’s CEO
• A monthly enewsletter

Thank you for your years of service and all you’ve done to help create the next generation of female leaders. We couldn’t do it without you!

This special offer runs from April 1 to April 30, 2019, 8:00 PM CST. For more information, visit girlscouts.org/lifetime.

It’s not too late to embark on this incredible adventure! If you’re looking for ways to have a powerful, lasting influence on girls in your community, we’d love to chat.
